ANT-MAN AND THE WASP Is Being Described As Marvel's First "Romantic Comedy"

Marvel Studios will be making a huge genre-switch in 2018's Ant-Man and the Wasp, by making it their first romantic-comedy superhero movie

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has grown to be more than just a collection of super-hero action movies. The franchise has grown comfortable to delve into many different sub-genres, such as Captain America: The Winter Soldier's political thriller story, Guardians of the Galaxy's space opera adventure and even how the incredibly anticipated Avengers: Infinity War will feel like a heist film.

Reports from the russian film event, Kinorynok, reveal that the upcoming Ant-Man and the Wasp may be Marvel Studios' first romantic-comedy, based on the promotional material they were shown. 2015's Ant-Man was a light-hearted film with many parts of humor and it also gave small teases of Scott's romance with Hope. Ant-Man and the Wasp will continue this path, but turn it into a whole sub-genre.

Both actors Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly have starred in romantic-comedies before and director Peyton Reed is very familiar with the genre as well. So, in the grand scheme of things, this doesn't seem like a bad idea, but some fans may not be ready for this change. 

Are you ready to see Ant-Man and the Wasp as a rom-com? Let us know in the comments.

Sooo guessing they fall for each other in the first act. However he messes up so she calls it off in the middle. But then he finally proves himself in the end and they live happily ever after. Basically every rom com ever

Is anybody really expecting a serious toned Ant man movie anyway? Nah. I say bring on the humor. Could end up being another great time at the cinema like Ragnorok
